I'm actually quite surprised that I didn't get bored of this drama, I quite like it. Usually I don't prefer watching c-drama's because they are very lengthy. But this one didn't feel like it. It's a fun and cute drama. And not to mention FL. She stole the show. She is very quirky and it's refreshing to see such a sunshine FL. She is literally the cutest. I honestly felt like the ML is not that good in acting(my opinion) I felt he is forcing himself to be in character. At beginning I didn't even like seeing his face but then it got settled down at 15th episode or so... I would love to see more drama's like this.

This drama first caught my attention with the
shorter number of episodes than most
c-dramas have and second with the plot as I
was curious about the city where women
were superior to men in terms of social
standing. But I liked how in the end it was
addressed that both the cities had its flaws
when it came to gender norms.

The costumes in this drama were different
from the ones I've seen in other historicals
and so beautiful! I really liked all the collars
of the dresses and the various layers and
colours of these outfits. Qianqian looked so
gorgeous in her red dress and Chuchu was
awesome in her warrior clothing (I'm still
wishing for an redemption arc for her 😭),
Han Shuo looked a bit bland for my tastes
but he was very handsome in the modern
setting at least.

I loved the main leads's relationship
especially their cute bickering scenes at the
beginning but somewhere around the latter
half they were treating each other badly with
some forced kisses taking place but at the
end everything was good again. I honestly
don't think that the drama needs a second
season but if it ever comes out, I'll watch it. I
just hope that they will keep the historical
settings .

My final rating for this c-drama is 8.5/10.

Unique, funny, romantic: all in one!

turns out third time IS a charm! just finished this :)

pros:
- SIZZLING chemistry between the leads: nothing more expected from the king and queen of creating chemistry (srsly, ZLS and DYX looks good with each other and everyone they work with)!
- great acting: wowow the whole cast was great at their roles! no awkward acting at all :) LS is so cute and DYX’s cute gaze <3
- unique storyline: i tend to immensely dislike isekai/time-travel/‘it was all just a dream’ dramas (hence it took me so many tries to get into this) because it sucks when they return to the real world and it’s just like.... what’s the point of the drama, but this is an exception! riveting plot with a good balance of comedy and angst :) also the feminist element of the plot is really refreshing.
- intense romance: loved the main leads’ romance. ML was so whipped by FL, so cute! both were very loyal to one another by the end. not very many kisses and the ones we did get weren’t very ‘passionate’ though :( but i think the other interactions made up for it a little :D
- the costumes were lovely. could tell the budget wasn’t that high but i think they did a good job with what they had.
- the script writing was so good! funny, snappy and not too convoluted. ML had killer romantic lines and FL had such funny modern day lines too!
cons:
- a bit draggy in the middle: FL took her time to finally accept she had fallen for ML and it got annoying so i skipped a few bits in the middle. admittedly, while i did love the couple in the end, it took me a while to get into the romance bc of how dismissive the FL was towards ML for so long.
- ML forcing himself on the FL in the latter half was not it. it was so OOC for him, even in context he was doing it in.
- FL was a bit brainless at times. i understand she was trying to get out of the script and all, but like she should have given up way earlier lol
- i get the ending but also, we need an explanation. it wasn’t terrible but it was a tad rushed. why did they travel together? how did they have the same dream? is the world the FL is in also a script? they wrapped up the romance well but they left so many plot questions unanswered.

overall, 9.5/10. this was such an enjoyable watch and i so recommend this for both romance and comedy :) i am a bit worried though bc i don’t think this needs a second season, more of a special episode or smth? i’ll put why in a spoiler below lol

This drama has it all!

This drama was simply perfect. I signed up at kisskh just to be able to write this review. I've watched loads of k-dramas and quite a few c-dramas, and this one simply had it all:
Good romance (good chemistry, cute scenes)
Action and plot twists (not one episode was boring)
Fantasy
Great storyline
Drama (shed a few tears)
Comedy (the drama made me laugh out loud many times)
Life lessons
Handsome/pretty actors and actresses
This one really is a gem! I applaud the writers for making every single episode exciting. This drama became one of my favourites instantly. Even if you're not a big fan of period pieces (like me), this remains a must watch!

The synopsis enticed me into eagerly watching the drama. It started out interesting with a typical screenwriter transported into her story in a dreamlike state (similar to Scarlet Heart 2.) It was entertaining through half the drama then it started to slow a bit and then it got to a point where my attention started straying away with me fiddling with side activities like browsing and shopping. The main issue I have is that the antagonist gets away with everything including murder, I mean literally and that is disappointing. The ending was also disappointing as in not much effort was put into tying the dream side to the reality side. The story is very typical and just a little bit funny. The actors were great. I enjoyed the female lead the most. She has great comedic facial expressions, cute voice, and even when she laughs, cries, shouts, or get angry , she does not have an annoying high pitch effects that would send chills up my spine. I've seen her other works and find her to be one of few actresses whose cutesy acting is really cutesy. This drama is worth watching because of the actors, the story is okay but not a re-watch and binge worthy in the beginning half of the drama.

This drama was everything for me. As a person who easily quits Chinese dramas I was craving and literally begging God for the next week to come so I could see more episodes. The male and female chemistry was just too good. And the comedy was on point. The plot was new and really refreshing. I really loved how it was a 24 episode drama. All characters served their purpose and the story wasn’t too draggy or anything. Zhao lu si is mostly known for being in dramas that incorporates two worlds and it’s always surprising to me how she pulls them off differently every time. I also fell in love with the male lead. He’s soo charismatic and handsome. Wish we could see both leads again in another drama.

Review for Zhao Lusi (❤ ω ❤)

I come to write this review for Zhao Lusi. She is my faviourite actress ever. Her acting skill or maybe her own personality is so natural, engaging , interesting and makes me laugh. This drama is for her and she also achieves this drama!

I've watched this drama nearly 10 times. Everytime when I'm not happy or down in life, I open this drama as a background music at home. Then I feel at ease. Everything is not a big deal in life. We can smile , laugh and feel love.

When I'm writing this review, I'm also watching her new drama on airing "Who Rules The World". Her feeling is totally different in that drama which is amazing . I read the novel many years ago and read it again recently. She is exactly the female character stepping from the novel. When I've heard this drama will be on airing on Netflix, I feel so excited for her. She's only 23 years old and her career is developing so quickly in recent two years. Which means she can get more rescources and produce more excellent dramas! Congratulations!

Overall, it's a very good, relaxed and funny drama. This setting of female and male is unique in Chinese Ancient Dramas. Very Interesting and thought-provoking. Thanks to the writer wrote a good script! Love Happy Ending!

ps. I love the all the clothes of Chen Qianqian. They are all so beautiful and perfect for Zhao lusi! I think they are also suited in modern times. (*^▽^*)

Refreshing, clever and fun!

This was a surprising gem. This is obviously a story written by writers for writers and people who know and can appreciate the craft. The lines made me laugh so hard that tears came to my eyes and then cry so hard that I started laughing again.

The chemistry between the leads was so sweet and engaging that it helped me survive a 48 hour fast (during my second rewatching!!!) The rest of the cast were also very fun and played well - especially Zi Rui, Bai Ji and Meng Guo.

I'm super impressed by the young actors in this show. All props to the comedic genius that is Rosy Zhao and what a charmer Ryan Ding is. Those two are just too cute. I really hope they come back in Season 2. I seldom want to see another season of a particular show, but now, I'm actually very excited and glad!

Highly recommended!

From RomCom to Melodrama

The first fifteen episodes of this show were truly amazing - a vivacious female lead; a brooding hero; hilarious sidekicks; fun shenanigans; and an interesting premise. It had enough serious to make the implausible plot seem realistic, and enough comedy to make it delightful to watch. However, the last nine episodes completely turned this lovable crew into the pain train of melodrama. It was awful watching the male lead switch from cinnamon roll to bitter adversary to the female lead. Even worse was the fact these episodes occurred because the two leads refused to be more open and honest with each other DESPITE promising to do just that. Sigh. The ending of the series was also rather a let down. I wish the leads had more time in the real world together than just a short scene at the end.
